Episode Details

Nike’s stock is being dropped from the S&P 100 after 18 years, as its market value plummets by $200 billion — a sharp decline fueled by online backlash over NBA jersey designs and deeper strategic missteps. Critics blame a “go woke, go broke” pivot, but others argue it’s complacency: Nike rested on past glory, failed to innovate like Disney, and alienated retailers by bypassing stores — especially after COVID when shoppers craved in-person experiences. Meanwhile, local rivals like Athleta and Lululemon are stealing market share, while missteps with female consumers threaten a key demographic. Nike is at a crossroads — must reinvent or risk fading into irrelevance.
